Product type
Current sense resistors are precision resistive components used to measure the current flowing through a circuit. They are typically made from materials such as metal film or thick film, which provide stable resistance values and low temperature coefficients. These resistors are designed to handle power dissipation while maintaining accuracy in current measurement applications.
| Resistance range | 0.1 mΩ to 10 Ω |
| Power rating | 0.1 W to 5 W |
| Tolerance | 1% to 5% |
| Temperature coefficient | ±50 ppm/°C to ±100 ppm/°C |
| Package types | 0805, 1206, 2512 |
When selecting a current sense resistor, consider the required resistance value, power rating, and tolerance necessary for your application. It's also important to specify the temperature coefficient for accuracy in varying conditions. Ensure that the physical package size fits your circuit design and that the resistor can handle the expected current levels without overheating. Requesting samples for testing can help in finalizing the choice.
